As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Lithuania has stopped half of the transit of Russian goods to Kaliningrad. It concerns cargo that fell under EU sanctions.
The Russian Foreign Ministry protested to Lithuania over the ban on the transit of goods to Kaliningrad.
On June 8, a member of Russian parliament from the United Russia party, Yevgeny Fedorov, registered in the State Duma of the Russian Federation a bill on "Abolition of recognition of the independence of Lithuania."
